"On St. Martin's night some people kill a goose or a chicken and keep its blood. It is a cure. It falls on the eleventh of November
ST Martin's is a fascinating day in Irish folklore, a great example of the way folk belief and religion mingled. Blooding the 4 corners of the house gave protection.

ST MARTIN'S in Ireland is a fascinating confluence of magical and religious traditions centred around protection. Good Weather in early November is known as St Martin's Summer- currently 13° C and sunny!

The terms are relatively new, the concept is ancient.
In early Ireland energy of wild places (Brí) and energy of Human places (Bua) are the basis of magical energy. Narural energy, expressed in Draíocht Ceoil as sound - "the note of a place"

"There was a "Lis" in a certain man's land and there were sallies growing in it. One time the man cut sally out of the "Lis" this happened during the month of November and after that every month of November his neck swelled (used swell) and it was during the month of November he died." NSFC Cork

Oiche shamhna - for the night that's in it a little treasure from the past. An old very battered remnant of a book my dad kept close, a dream interpretation manual.
It came from his own dad but almost certainly belonged to either his mother or granny.
And people wonder why I'm the way I am :)

Last census, we were asked to write a "time capsule". mine is a poem based on the Irish
'Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine.'
People live in the shadows of each other;
we are all in this together but also, we can choose to make it better or worse for each other.
I choose better.

Two different pieces of lore from Halloween in Ireland, both concerned with love - but one definitely more romantic than the other! Both from Cavan, these stories emphasize the duality of love magic.

One of the less romantic, weirder bits of folklore at #Halloween - Potato peels. Yes, the humble spud could predict your romantic future - but make sure you get every bit of the rind off the potato.

Ancestor has been used in many funerals over the last few years; I love that it has brought peace to people. While I do charge to write ceremonies in general but never charge for the use a poem for Burials, so if there's one you like just PM me. #pagan #irishpagan #irishwitch

I have several classes that are ideal for Samhain at The Irish Pagan School.
First up, Fire Reading, an introduction to Irish traditions of Divination.
Throughout Oct, I'll be doing a series of short videos on Tiktok to illustrate some techniques so it's an ideal time to grab the recorded class!
